Hi everybody.
Im Axem (Ian.B) and its my pleasure to introduce myself to you all.
Im in my early 40s from Birmingham England and have been into aviation since the year dot!!
Currently I work at Birmingham airport pushing the planes out and waving them in. I obtained my Pilots Licence at the age of 18 but no longer hold my licence due to the cost. Was most into my flight sims in the era of Falcon 4.0 and was a strong online member of a Virtual Squadron along with the guys who went onto produce the upgraded version of F4 we see today.
When I casually browsed a magazine and saw the A-10C sim I just couldnt believe my eyes. And then saw the footage on youtube!!! You have to be kiddin!!!!!!
Well, after a long haul saving mission, ive built myself a PC with the sole aim to use it for just this sim.
The PC is AthlonFX 3.6g, 8gig RAM, Radeon6950 2g card so I hope it will handle the sim just fine.
I know that Im standing at the bottom of a very tall learning curve and relish moving on up as I learn more and more.
Hope to get to know a lot of you well and also have the pleasure of flying with you some time. Sure will be great times.
Thanks for reading and fly soon!!
Axem
